I’d never been to a Texas Roadhouse until I bought a bunch of their stock a couple years ago. What a good business. Extremely difficult to find a steak of this quality at this price, the rolls are crack, the service is consistently good.

Gimme TXRH any day of the week.

@rn_lilydale Every now and then the ABC give a good interview, just to give off hints of what they used to be and what they could become. But they are always a flash in a pan.

Louise Perry made a sharp observation: many feminists tried to replace the husband with the state.

In her interview with John Anderson, she pointed out that while the state can provide money and daycare, what most women actually want is to raise their children with the support of committed adults, not institutions.

After reviewing history, she concludes that monogamous marriage, despite its imperfections, has consistently produced the best outcomes for mothers and children. Every major experiment with communal living or fully socialized families has ended with worse results.

Decades of research show children raised by married biological parents have significantly better outcomes across the board, lower rates of poverty, higher educational attainment, better mental and physical health, and lower involvement in crime.

These advantages hold even after controlling for income and education. Alternative family structures and state-heavy models have repeatedly shown higher instability and poorer long-term results for kids.

With marriage rates declining and child mental health struggling, we need to be honest about which systems actually support families best instead of clinging to nice-sounding theories that keep failing.

Do you think stable monogamous marriage is still the best system we have for raising kids, or do you see better alternatives?

@therealrukshan The 76 labor seats are based on labor with 31% of vote, last poll i saw had them at 26%?

@craigkellyAFEE Thanks for the explanation Craig, I thought it looked off and had wrongly assumed it was a deeper seat by seat look at polls, but obviously not.

Always remember: it’s not officially Mother’s Day until Mr. T has blessed us with song.

Activist: "You can graze sheep underneath solar panels. It's called agrivoltaics."

Farmer: "I've read the brochures."

Activist: "Best of both worlds."

Farmer: "The panels shade the sward. Productive species die back. What grows is what tolerates shade and compaction. Sheep won't finish on it."

Activist: "But the trials show it works."

Farmer: "The trials run three years and measure ewe presence. Not lamb growth rates. Not finishing weights. Not what the soil looks like in year fifteen."

Activist: "It's still better than nothing."

Farmer: "It's a 30% stocking rate, a steel frame I can't plough around, panel-cleaning chemicals running into the watercourse, and a 40-year lease I can't break."

Activist: "But you're getting energy AND lamb."

Farmer: "I'm getting a third of the lamb, a maintenance contract, and a field my grandson can't farm."

Activist: "You're being negative."

Farmer: "I'm watching a thousand-year-old way of feeding people get traded for twenty-five years of subsidised electricity. Negative would be the polite word."

@IranObserver0 Oil pipelines are flanged at fixed lengths. Blow up a couple of lengths, have them swapped out in 12 hours max, 24-36 hours if you need some concrete thrust lock/footings to set first.

@coinbureau But your not taking into account an extra 7 million bbp coming out of yambu, 1 million bhp out of fujairah, 0.5 m bbp turkey-iraq line. That puts you at 50% covered. Now at venusala, drill baby drill and even Santos in WA is stepping up to the mark. Models need revison
